Book Reviews of Philosophical Investigations: The German Text, with a Revised English Translation 50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition
Book Review: An unanswered challenge to analytic philosophy
Summary: 5 Stars
In the philosophical Investigations Wittgenstein destroys the whole edifice of analytic philosophy. For Wittgenstein, philosophical problems - as investigated by analytic philosophers - are brought into being by the analytic method itself. The problem, then, is to understand this point and to free oneself from the psuedo puzzles created by the method.
The fact that fifty years on we still await the first serious rebuttal to Wittgenstein's view ably demonstrates their potency and contemporary relevance.
Analytic philosophy should cease until the problems raised in this book are addressed.
